In 1966, Erd\\H os and Lov\\'asz conjectured that the only double-critical $n$-chromatic graph is $K_n$. This conjecture remains unresolved for $n \\ge 6.$ In this short note, we verify this conjecture for claw-free graphs $G$ of chromatic number $6$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-18T17:40:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "double-critical graph conjecture", "chromatic graph", "conjecture remains", "short note" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160405262H" } } }
